Yup, exactly. Should be done in about 2 weeks.
Not at all, no check engine lights or body codes. The pump is strictly for the engine mounts. The vacuum pump for the brake booster is actually on the back of the intake camshaft. You will see a line directly to the brake boost. It is tied into the vacuum pump for additional vacuum but it is unnecessary.
Ah, my bad, that is what I thought you removed (one off cam) .
I've deleted it as well. I initially kept the line connected from manifold to brake booster, then deleted that as well as IIRC the check valves in place prevented the booster from ever getting manifold vacuum. I think the line from the booster to the mount vacuum solenoid was so the mounts could use the booster's vacuum pump as well, but I never really bothered to investigate it much further.
From my understanding the boost would actually fill up the mounts and when it came back into idle the engine rested on the rubber mounts. I'm not 100% sure because honestly if it worked off vacuum it wouldn't have any benefit because it would just be deflated all the time.
not sure i follow you, but if you got ride of line in back from vacuum pump to booster and only have a check valve line from booster to IM .I've deleted it as well. I initially kept the line connected from manifold to brake booster, then deleted that as well as IIRC the check valves in place prevented the booster from ever getting manifold vacuum.

Either way, it's gone, no issues, no codes.
Yeh, it seems odd to me ,I think they go overboard to try an get ride of anything 4 cylinder like , if you know what I mean .
No, line from pump to booster has a T that goes to the mounts. This y's with the manifold line (shown in Adam's pics). I initially connected the booster line to the manifold with the check valves in place in the same orientation and figured out that they don't allow air to pass so I capped the manifold and the T on the pump to booster. Pretty much exactly what Adam has done;)
I don't have an engine hoist, so yes you can install them with just a jack. There is a ton of rattles after the install. They are completely solid mounts, the urethane is really not taking up too much of the vibration when the whole system is held together by billet blocks and a solid bolt. I don't mind the vibration, it tells me everything is solid and I like that.
I don't mind it, it is all going to be up to the owner. I used to drive 500whp civic's with solid billet engine mounts, same with my EVO's. So, my perspective is jaded.
